What happens next?

Once you have submitted your challenge, you will receive a confirmation email. If you haven't received it, please check your spam folder.

Challenges we can't accept

If your vehicle has been removed, we will not accept a challenge for the removal of a PCN until your vehicle has been released. You will need to pay for its release by contacting the car pound directly.

If your PCN has reached warrant stage, you will need to contact the relevant enforcement agent;to pay the PCN amount and any additional fees.
